OUR TEAM
NATHALIE COLIN
Co-founder and Creative Director
With more than 30 years of experience as Creative Director and Senior Leader in the fashion and jewelry industries, Nathalie has extensively contributed to the modernization of Swarovski, the Austrian crystal jewelry group.
From 2006 to 2020, in her role of Creative Director, Spokesperson and Management Board Member, she sharpened the brand distinctive design signature and created a visionary team culture celebrating diversity and inclusion. Under her lead, the on-trend jewelry category was born, colorful collections hit the market, iconic figurative motifs were designed, the regional collections found home with more consistency in the overall offer, the watches and eyewear were successfully launched, as well as enlarged accessory offer. Nathalie started her career alongside Marc Jacobs in New York-based Perry Ellis designer brand. She then moved on to brand consulting at the trend forecasting agency Promostyl (Ray Ban, Nike, Boots, Coty, Samsung, Disney…). Following the creation of her agency Cultural Sushi in 1998, Nathalie moved to Beijing, China in 2000, to co-create a womenswear brand for Yimian, a Chinese textile company and continued consulting for music majors (Mercury, UM, Naïve…), worldwide companies (Shiseido, Roland Garros…) while being a regular editor to the Japanese magazine VOCE.
"I am thrilled to pursue my career as Creative Director, a job I am passionate about, by consulting international brands in fashion or fine jewelry, accessories, Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. Bringing my expertise into collaborations with brands having meaningful purposes, I want to unveil new ways of creating through cross-generations conversations in a modern working environment. I believe that brands’ future success lies within their distinctiveness and their ability to reinvent themselves with authenticity while resonating with Gen Zers influential views."

ANHLY COLIN
Co-founder and CEO
Driven by passion and ambition, Anhly aspires to become a change actor in the fashion industry. Her ever-evolving journey, as a Politics student with a Minor in Geography, combined with her entrepreneurial skills, provides her with the multi-dimensional knowledge needed to provide sustainable and ethical inputs through carefully designed strategic-decision making. As a Franco-Vietnamese woman, she also embraces her positive-thinking mindset and creative sensitivity, which finds its endless source within diverse environments. Anhly already got a glimpse into Fashion, in particular through an internship at Conde Nast / Vogue exploring the dynamics of fashion trends and through activities as a model for beauty and fashion brands. By leading the creative direction and production of various events (fashion shows, concerts…), Anhly has not only developed her entrepreneurial mindset but also gained experience within communication, event planning and project management.
"As a 19-year-old ambitious and hard-working woman, I am truly excited to take on this challenge, while simultaneously continuing my Politics studies at King’s College London and Sciences Po Paris. Being surrounded by a team of brilliant talents coming from all around the world inspires me daily, and allows me to further explore my leadership and creative talents. Working alongside my mother, I expect to shed light on innovative and sustainable perspectives reflecting the expectations of my generation.”
Anhly
Enthusiastic and collaborative by nature, Nathalie and Anhly have built an eclectic network of talents around them, coming from complementary expertise, who all have an inner understanding of the required image-commercial balance for brands to succeed, and common strong ethical values. A modern spirit and an optimistic perspective is uniting them all.
